This project will support the Inuit Circumpolar Council Canada Archives to preserve, manage, and promote Inuit documentary heritage and Inuit Knowledge related to international advocacy and leadership. The project focuses on three priority areas: completing full archival processing for major Inuit Circumpolar Council Canada record groups; supporting archives-specific software and systems to improve public access through a searchable, bilingual (Inuktitut and Inuktut Qaliujaaqpait) online database; and undertaking outreach, engagement, and knowledge-mobilization activities at the 15th Inuit Circumpolar Council General Assembly in Iqaluit in 2026. These efforts will improve access to Inuit documentary heritage, strengthen the use and value of archival materials, and increase ICC Canada’s capacity for collection management and information sharing across the Arctic.
